Make your Royals rankings! (Batters edition)

Okay, I need two lists from you.

(1) From top to bottom, most to least, which Royals are you the most excited about in 2007? Which Royals are going to get you to come out to the ballpark?

(2) Dependability, from most to least dependable this year, in your opinion. (Takes into account injury, sustaining statistics, etc.)

The players:
DH Mike Sweeney
C Jason LaRue
C John Buck
1B Ryan Shealy
1B/OF Ross Gload
2B Mark Grudzielanek
3B Alex Gordon
SS Tony Pena Jr.
UTIL Esteban German
LF Emil Brown
CF David DeJesus

4    2B Mark Grudzielanek    Can depend on people to mention his gold glove like that means he's Frank White
5    OF Reggie Sanders    Can depend on him making you think about the good old days when he could hit
6    OF Joey Gathright    Can depend on people to rave about his speed but fail to find an example of when it made a difference

14    C John Buck    Can depend on to come down with strange aches and pains, which maybe relate to Paul Phillips voodoo practices
